simple, inexpensive, durable and ei icient device of this character which will be effectivel for. the purpose designed.

Further objects andv advantages of this invention will appear in the following s ecication and the novel features thereo will be `finally pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, wherein like characters of reference denote similar parts throu hout the several views:-Figure 1 is a deta showing one corner of a window frame constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2, is a top view thereof. Fig. 3, is a perspective view of m improved corner wit portions thereof bro en away. Fig. 4, is also a perspective view thereof looking in the opposite direction. Fig. 5, is a plan view of the blank from which the corners are formed. l

Referrin to the Fig. 5, of the drawings the reference c, aracter 1, designates a piece of sheet metal, cut in the proper form, ready to be bent to make one of the corners of my improved frame. This sheet when cut in the proper form is 1-shaped as clearly shown and as one edge recessed or cut-away as at 2, and has inner corners slit as at 3. To bend this blank into form of corner shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the edges 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, are bent at right angles to the face of the sheet as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 4, and after this has been done the right angular sides 10, and 11, are bent upward on dotted lines 12, to

form a corner as clearly shown in Fi 3, having the solid back 13, provided wit the re cess 2. Now, in order to set up or construct a frame, all that is necessary is to secure suit` able frame members 14, and to insert the ends thereof into the sockets 15 and 16, ofthe corner as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4. After this has been done the wire cloth 16, is placed upon the frame as shown in Fig. 1, and a molding 17, secured to the frame as clearly shown in Fig. 3, which molding serves to cover the edges of the wire cloth over which they are tacked and to give a fmish to the face of the frame.

The right angular face 11, of the corner, it will be observed, is provided witha plurality of slotted openings or apertures 18, through which the tacks are ada ted to pass which hold the wire cloth to the rame. The faces 10 and 11, are eachprovided with the openings 19, through which the fastening devices 20, such as nails, screws or the like are adapted to pass for I'irmly holding the frame sect .fe in the sockets 15 and 16.

It will te observed that the side frame members 14, are longitudinally grooved as at 21, or otherwise suitably formed on their outer edges to receive the usual guides or rails 22, in the window frame, on which the screen can be-slid up and down.

It will .be readily seen that a frame constructed with my improved corners will be inexpensive, easily made, readily put together and when once put together will be perfectly square cornered,I strong an'd dura- Having fully described my invention, what I claim is d 1. ln combination with two right angular members of a frame the vertical one of which has a side groove, of a corner pieceV d therefor composed of a ieee of sheet metal of l. shape having a bac engaging the outer edge of the horizontal of said members with a recess at one end of the back to register with said groove of the vertical member, parallel horizontal sides integral with the ack having their edges turned inwardly and spaced apart and engaging the inner face of said horizontal member, vertical parallel portions integral with said back and having their inner and outer free edges turned inwardly toward one another to engage said l vertical member, the side edge extremities of the outer edges of the vertical portion terminating fiush with said grooves. 2. .In combination with two right angular members of a frame the vertical one of which has a side groove of a corner piece therefor comgpsed of a piece of sheet metal of i.. shape aving a back engaging the outer edge of the horizontal of said members with a recess at one end of the back t0 register with said groove of the vertical member, parallel horizontal sides integral with the ack having their edges turned inwardly and spaced apart and engaging the inner face of said horizontal member, vertical parallel portions integral with said back and having their inner and outer free edges turned in- 'Wardly toward one another to engage said vertical member, the side edge extremities of the' outer edges of the vertical portion terminating flush with said groove, said horivided with openings, fastening exten ing through said openings and into said frame members, there being other openings in one of said horizontal sides and vertical portions, Wire fabric-secured to said sidesand vertical portions, and molding secured lto said wire fabric.

3. In combination With two right angular zontal sides and vertical portions being pro-- `members of a frame, the vertical one of which has a groove in its outer side, a corner piece of L-sha e having three pairs of free edges the mem ers of each pair eing turned inwardly toward each other to embrace the side edges of said members, the inturned edges oia the vertical part of the corner piece having their extremities terminating flush GILBERT E.
